bromatologic variation of the milk produced by lamancha goats fed with different forages. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of three forages: black sorghum (Sorghum almum), mulberry (Morus alba), and african star grass (Cynodom nlemfuensis), on the quantity and quality of goat milk. The experiment was carry out at the alfredo Volio mata experiment station of the University of costa rica located at 1542 masl, during the last trimester of 2007 on three groups of Lamancha goats. a repeated Latin square model was used. The highest milk yield was obtained when animals consumed african star grass (1.06 kg of milk/animal/day) (p<0.01) followed by mulberry (0.89 kg of milk/animal/day) and Black sorghum (0.73 kg of milk/animal/day); nevertheless, fat percentage, protein, casein, total solids and non fatty solids were improved when goats were fed with mulberry (p<0.01), and the lowest parameters were obtained with african star grass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
